Making skin care simple, Medik8 takes the fuss out of caring for your complexion. Powered by three key ingredients: vitamin C, vitamin A and non-negotiable SPF, the brand's signature skin care saviours are famed for their potent potions. Enter: the Crystal Retinal 6 Serum (30ml), supercharging your routine with stable retinal for bouncy and plump skin.
Speed up the line-smoothing, brightening, firming and dark spot-diminishing process with the Crystal Retinal 6 Serum (30ml).
With a unique crystal structure, this superior serum ensures stability and maximum absorption while mitigating the look of redness. With the radiance-boosting, clarifying and retexturising benefits of retinol (without the sometimes scaly side-effects), this strengthens the appearance of skin overnight, delivering a visible difference 11 times faster than retinol. The addition of plumping and moisture-retaining hyaluronic acid and glycerin, alongside antioxidant vitamin E, makes this serum a true bathroom shelf staple.

Amazing
I love love love this product. I've initially started with Crystal retinal 3 (which was a bit too light but do not regret the purchase), then purchased CR 6. Do not believe in any negative reviews regarding this product. It works, but you need to be consistent. I have started using this retinol last year, in October (so almost 6 months ago) and will buy CR 10 after I have finished with the current one. It completely changes the texture of the skin.

not worth it at all
I can say straight off the bat this product is not worth the price tag. First of all, the packaging is the worst I’ve ever come across. The pump is horrid I can’t get any product out!! The retinol is so light I don’t feel anything at all and it doesn’t do much with the texture on my face. It makes me think how the other retinol products marketed by the brand for beginners are even lighter than this so do they even do anything? I think this would be great for those with extremely sensitive skin.

In love!
I love this retinal, I started off introducing these types of products using The Inkey List retinol, it did the job but wasn’t the nicest consistency or smell, so graduating to The Medik8 Retinal 6 was a welcomed change! Smells amazing, the texture is lovely and creamy without being oily and my skin is loving it! Will likely go up to next Crystal Retinal when this runs low, can’t wait!

Gentlier than trentinoin, but just as effective
I had switched over to Medik8 Crystal Retinal 6 from tretinoin because tretinoin was just so harsh on my skin. I've found that this is as effective without all the side effects --redness, dry skin, or peeling. I definitely recommend this for those who want the benefits of tretinoin without all the side effects.

Latest technology in skincare
I wanted to upgrade from my 1% retinol and after some research, I found out that Retinal is actually the best form of vitamin A right now to help with signs of ageing, hyperpigmentation and enlarged pores. I started in the Medik8 0.6% right away as I’m already used to retinol - if you’re starting just now with it go for the 0.3%. I had no irritation at all (I use a specific retinal product for around the eyes), I’ve been using every night, sometimes followed by a night moisturiser. My skin is glowing and imperfections such as hyperpigmentation are definitely improving. I truly recommend this product to anyone wanting to upgrade their nighttime skincare routine.

A retinoid innovation
Lovely texture, sinks in very well, and a nice smell (unusual for a retinoid!). I love that it's the more advanced form of retinal and trust that this will give better results over time. I use retinoids more as a preventative as I don't have many fine lines yet, but I feel confident that this will keep my skin youthful for longer. I actually use this every night and have zero negative side effects, despite the fact my skin is naturally dry - impressive.

Helped my acne
I have almost finished the tube now and purchased the crystal retinal 10 to progress to after this. Found I got a little itchy when over-eager at the beginning but as you should with retinol just ease yourself in. Use every evening now and have found it has improved the overall texture of my skin and also reduced breakouts. Now I have been using such a long time (4 months) have really noticed under skin spots/lumps all but gone now! Fairly pricey but happy with results and has lasted a long time as I’m not stingy with it either!

Great product poor packaging
The biggest improvement in my skin after a month, my pores were significantly smaller and less noticeable. Also, my skin texture actually improved although I already had a nice texture. I really like this product. My only issue is at his price, the pump should work till the product runs out. Poor packaging for the price.
